This Journal Belongs to Ratchet

This is the story of a girl, Rachel, who is trying to fit in. But it is a little tricky for her because her father can be embarrassing, and her being homeschooled doesn’t allow her many opportunities to find friends. Through a series of journal entries, Rachel tells stories about her quest to turn her “old, recycled, freakish, friendless, motherless life into something shiny and new.”
